migra and coloniality
We dig up some unreleased fragments of our conversation with Argentinian writer and researcher Flavia Dzodan.
Violeta Ospina is an artist, an educator, and a facilitator of collaborative projects that pay special attention to sound and the body. Using typical expressions and imaginaries of popular celebrations as raw materials, her work unfolds through multiform devices that seek to intensify the present. Piñatas, scale models, processions, karaoke, carnival, and cabaret all make an appearance in her practice as catalysts for violence and tenderness, which can also awaken the parodic potential that is always latent in everyday situations. Violeta is co-founder of Radio Cava-ret, a project linked to listening and theatricality, which, taking up the baton from the Futurists, calls itself a “radia”: the experimental and erotic flip side of traditional radio.
We dig up some unreleased fragments of the interview with Toni Serra/Abu Ali that we were unable to include the first time around.
Toni Serra/Abu Ali talks about trance, light, shadows, transitions, conditions of life and possibility, about seeing and concealing, about dreaming and unlearning. And about plants, of course.
Eyal Weizman talks about the basic principles of forensic architecture, its practical applications, and its links to the world of art and creation.
